Comment on We Need To Talk About "Authoritarianism"

This video makes the case that authoritarianism is good, based on Engel’s paper ‘On Authority’ and is made from a distinctly Marxist-Leninist perspective.
For a well articulated Anarchist rebuttal to this very video, check out Anark’s ‘Authoritarianism is bad actually: a response to Second Thought’

It does not posit that authoritarianism is good. It claims that every state is authoritarian and that the authority of the state cannot be destroyed without an opposing authority. That one class imposing its will on another through revolution is inherently authoritarian and thats ok.
